Political ecology has developed over the past few decades as an interdisciplinary critique of environmental devastation, scientific management, and environmental activism. Attending to the intersections of anthropology and political ecology, this course will provide an introduction to the key debates of political ecology as well how these debates have articulated with foundational anthropological concerns. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Anth majors.

This course explores women?s health from an evolutionary, biocultural, and global health perspective. It focuses on the physiological, ecological, and cultural factors shaping health. We will take a life course perspective to examine childhood development, reproductive processes such as pregnancy, birth, and lactation, as well as menopause and aging. Throughout the class, we will draw on findings and concepts from human biology, evolutionary ecology, public health and medical anthropology to explore the multi-faceted determinants of global women?s health.

The objective of this internship is to give the student exposure to and training in a wide range of tasks and skills involved in the operation of an archaeological research laboratory and curation facility. Intern will undertake a variety of tasks related to the analysis, processing, and curation of artifacts.

This course introduces students to the anthropological study of art and aesthetics, broadly defined, across the great range of human cultures, with an emphasis on non-western, small-scale societies and the extent to which art and aesthetics may be understood as forms of social (and political) action. Although we give particular attention to visual images and visual experience, we will also consider broader issues of performance and other sensory and creative engagements with the world.
